Phins attend Manziel's final home game

It's remarkable that most media draft boards still have Mariota ahead of Manziel. I would love to see someone try to justify that stance.

Manziel's biggest detractor (besides size) is his ego and lack of maturity. Now him partying doesn't bug me as he is a college kid, but some things he's done this year do cause me to kind of tilt my head
 
He's as careless with the football as he is at making decisions off the field. Noooo thanks.
 
I'd pick up Manziel in the 3rd. No doubt he's got talent, but I don't see him lasting that long with all these QB needy teams and all the hype that surrounds him.
I also think Mariota is going to go high maybe in the 2nd rd.

I still have images of that Patty White hit from the Steelers happening to Manziel...now that was a hit & the rest as they say is history.

I think Pat White had smaller hands too? But I had buried that memory away. I do see Manziel being more of a passer like Doug Flutie who didn't take alot of hits and ran with the ball only when needed & not recklessly.
 
For the love of God, please get rid of the FO before they have the chance to make that huge mistake. I want no part of this guy or his ego. While I don't mind a player with a little bit of attitude or self-confidence, this guys head won't make it through the door. He's completely in it for only him and will be a cancer on any pro team he goes to. We have enough problems right now, we don't need that problem added to put a stake in the frachise.

quite a talent...arms nice...great athlete...but wait til he starts taking nfl contact...KABOOM

i think the shelf life considering how much he relies on his legs to make plays is a major concern at that a lot smaller than rg3 even size...they don't necessarily dial up things to run him to contact like rg3 at baylor and with the skins but he finds it given his style

anyways a & m's got a lot of nice talent...i'd be there scouting em too

He has average arm strength.

Jeff is always searching for those first round acorns. However, Johnny Football for all of his talent, is small and has the personality to become the biggest diva that the NFL has seen. He could be good because his natural talent is so high, but his ego is probably already out of control. A very high risk project who would probably need an extremely strong and secure head coach. If you think that Favre was a diva QB, you ain't seen nothing yet.

People are talking a lot more about Texas A&M with Johnny Football than they were with Ryan Tannehill….Just saying.
 
Johnny Football is must see TV. He's a highlight reel and TAMU follows him wherever he goes. There's not a player on that team that wouldn't take a bullet for him. When he steps on the field, everyone fastens their seat belts, as they should.

Manziel has the "it" factor coaches preach about. I liken him to Steve Young and Joe Namath all rolled up into one. With a little Drew Brees throw in for good measure. And if you watch him play, he does have some obvious elite NFL tangibles: arm, legs, elusiveness, charisma, leadership, heart and determination.

He is the type of player that thrives when people hate. He's got a ton of baggage and for every detractor, there is a staunch supporter.

People around the NFL always count the little guys out. It's not the team that picks him that will prove everyone wrong. He needs a team that can help him learn how to develop his talents above what he can do naturally.

QB's who can thrive in chaos tend to have short shelf lives in the NFL UNLESS they can develop their ability to read a defense, call the plays and make the tough throws into tight windows.

Peyton Manning is one of the oldest QBs in the league. And he's the best. Great QBs don't last in this league because of physical tools. Physical tools help them separate as younger players. But as they age, the mind becomes the ultimate weapon. The mind, dedication, constant practice, constant film study and perfecting the craft.

Manziel would be a decent side show in the NFL, but he has yet to show he respects his craft or the discipline needed to be great at it. Getting kicked out of the Manning Camp was a huge red flag for his future.

which team do you think takes a chance with him? Bucs, Jags, Vikes, Raiders or even the Steelers?

The Dolphins won't since we've already invested into T-Hill

I honestly think that the Vikings will, Bucs and Jags will fight it out for Bridgewater, The loser will probably go with Marriota, don't think the Raiders want to get a QB, especially one in a similar mold to Prior, and the Steelers vs Ben is hogwash, he will be their QB going forward. I honestly think that MANZIEL is a late 1st rounder for a team that has an older vet...maybe the Pats or Broncos or Saints that want Johny to sit and learn...

Bridgewater
Mariota
Mettenberger
 
Manziel is the anti Tannehill. He's fun to watch, and plays balls to the wall. I feel like Tannehill is too worried about turnovers to take chances but Mike Sherman may be to blame for that.
